Watch this scene
CUT TO:
EXT. BOAT DECK - NIGHT

The stars blaze overhead, so bright and clear you can see the Milky Way. Rose and Jack walk along the row of lifeboats. Still giddy from the party, they are singing a popular song "Come Josephine in My Flying Machine".

JACK/ROSE
Come Josephine in my flying machine

And it's up she goes! Up she goes!

In the air she goes. Where? There she goes!

They fumble the words and break down laughing. They have reached the First Class Entrance, but don't go straight in, not wanting the evening to end. Through the doors the sound of the ship's orchestra wafts gently. Rose grabs a davit and leans back, staring at the cosmos.

ROSE
Isn't it magnificent? So grand and endless.

She goes to the rail and leans on it.

ROSE
They're such small people, Jack... my crowd. They think they're giants on the earth, but they're not even dust in God's eye. They live inside this little tiny champagne bubble... and someday the bubble's going to burst.

He leans at the rail next to her, his hand just touching hers. It is the slightest contact imaginable, and all either one of them can feel is that square inch of skin where their hands are touching.

JACK
You're not one of them. There's been a mistake.

ROSE
A mistake?

JACK
Uh huh. You got mailed to the wrong address.

ROSE
(laughing)
I did, didn't I?
(pointing suddenly)
Look! A shooting star.

JACK
That was a long one. My father used to say that whenever you saw one, it was a soul going to heaven.

ROSE
I like that. Aren't we supposed to wish on it?

Jack looks at her, and finds that they are suddenly very close together. It would be so easy to move another couple of inches, to kiss her. Rose seems to be thinking the same thing.

JACK
What would you wish for?

After a beat, Rose pulls back.

ROSE
Something I can't have.
(she smiles sadly)
Goodnight, Jack. And thank you.

She leaves the rail and hurries through the First Class Entrance.

JACK
Rose!!

But the door bangs shut, and she is gone. Back to her world.



Why this scene was cut: Not only was it deleted for pacing, Cameron was looking to show the contrast between the uproarious dancing or the night before with the night after sitting in stifling silence with Cal the morning after.

Why this scene is important: Because this scene was cut you miss the symbolism later in the movie when Rose is on the debris, she is looking at the stars and a shooting star can be spotted. Also, this was to be the first of three times the popular song "Come Josephine in my Flying Machine" was sung. It is also sung by Jack and Rose during the Flying Scene and when Rose is on the debris.
